hello everyone. I was wondering what i should get to watch my movies on my computer, on my TV . I dont have HDTV or nothin , so i dont need the fanciest equipment, i just need to know what i should get to watch the movies on my PC at the best quality a normal TV can play, atleast as good as my dvd player . Ive been looking at alot of cheap pc-tv converters on ebay . Some say they are compatible with resolutions of 480x640 , 1024x768 , 1600x1200 etc . Which is the resolution it needs to play the best it can on a regular TV ? i dont wanna buy a 1600x1200 if all i need to watch DVD player quality with 480x640 . My pc is set to 1024x768 and the movies play good on the PC. My TV doesnt have a S-video in or nothing, i have a VCR hooked up to it , so i have rca ins (i think thats the composite in) . What is the least i need in a pc-tv usb device foe me to view my movies on a TV with atleast DVD player quality ? thanks .

By the way welcome to PC Help Forums PK.
What you may need is an S video to RGB wired SCART.

Hey PianoKid,

Welcome to PCHF.

Some graphics card have TV out, what graphics card do you have?

MY graphic card is "Integrated Intel Extreme graphics with up to 64 MB shared video memory" according to the specs. It doesnt have an s-video connection. I dont wanna get another card because it takes way more trouble to install and requiring troubleshooting. i wanna get one of the usb pc-tv devices . please help

will these be good enough to watch my movies on my TV as good as if i was playing them in the DVD player ? the second one doesnt say anything about any "anti-flicker" ability. is that really important ? or they just made that feature to sell more expensive products ? please help

eBay: Grantec Ultimate XP Pro PC-to-TV Converter (item 110082074598 end time Jan-23-07 21:05:54 PST)

PC to TV Converter: $37.95

but if you guys really think a card for about the same price is a WAY better idea, then tell me .

Hey dood, those two are nice. It also depends on if you want to duplicate what you see on the screen, or if you just want to use the TV instead of a monitor. If you want to duplicate then I think the Sewell (2nd link) converter is probably better as it does look like it duplicates what you see, but I would double check with them before you buy.

These converters do work well, but as your probably aware, it looks very much different to what you would normally see on a monitor, due to the maximum resolution a TV can display, unless of course you have HD. It's a little more burry, but very good for making movies, presentations e.t.c.
